"McKinnon deftly weaves the charm of Ireland with a beautiful romance that defies time itself." Heather Frost, author of The Seers Trilogy Ireland. Brianna grew up with her family's stories of the land steeped in magic. When she was invited to photograph medieval ruins for a magazine, she jumped at the chance. If she'd known her grandmother would convince her to practice their traditional family marriage vow at the swearing stone, she might have stayed home. 1405. Duncan had sworn to remain a widower. To prove his conviction, he placed his hand through the hole in the swearing stone to make a vow more binding than a promise. As he spoke the words, a hand appeared in his own. With their vows, Bri and Duncan find themselves bound to each other across six centuries. Neither of them is glad, but as their hearts are drawn together Bri discovers what she knows of her family's past could very well save Duncan's future.
